Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

“I will immediately bring prices down starting on Day 1,” he said on Aug. 15, for example. “Starting the day I take the oath of office, I will rapidly drive prices down,” he promised later that same month.

He backed away from that last month.

This is what Murca needs. More lies and long cons. Murca was lied to, and Krasnov only needed 1/3 of them to fall for it.

I mean, to be fair.... stock prices are rapidly being driven down, so he was kinda right.

[–] PortoPeople@lemm.ee 24 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

We handed the country over to a dictator because of eggs. The least he could do to say thank you is lower their prices.

[–] Bonzaibongo@lemm.ee 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

just goes to show you that he doesn’t give two shot about anyone but himself, and SOMETIMES his family…. 1/3rd of america voted for this, because they wanted to be able to discriminate again.

[–] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

All we needed was that one shot...

Fox News was pushing that Americans should get chickens so they can get their own eggs.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

All of the Facebook groups I’m in for keeping backyard chickens are infested with conspiracy loons. They think the bird flu isn’t real, and that the culls are a ploy to get us to eat fake meat.

So we probably are going to have an outbreak - the same fuckers who refused to wear masks sure as hell aren’t going to safely handle sick chickens. Time to invest in ivermectin stock I guess.

Please don't compare that cum stained dishrag with the likes of PBS, BBC and NRK.

How is that gonna work when so many properties are under the thumb of HOAs.

[–] TimeTraveler@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Or apartments?

[–] IphtashuFitz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

My neighbors regularly lose chickens to coyotes…

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago

Have they considered building a wall?

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Fox wants people to have chickens. Nothing suspicious about this surely

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 49 minutes ago

Don't pay any attention to egg prices. The economy is great actually.

Now where have I heard that in the past few months?

"You have served your purpose peons, now go away while my buddies dismantle your country"

The democrats, "we better stop. we might lose our brand as a gop sub."

[–] meowmeowbeanz@sopuli.xyz 72 points 12 hours ago

Imagine campaigning on ‘immediate relief’ and then reposting an article that screams ‘suck it up.’ Iconic failure. Missed opportunities to explore potential solutions or broader economic implications.

The Americans need to learn from the French where one egg is un oeuf.

[–] Tailzse836@lemm.ee 82 points 15 hours ago (9 children)

Why are they complaining about eggs, can’t they just eat cake?

I voted for Trump because he Promised to LOWER Egg Prices and I STILL support Trump after he told me to SHUT UP and ACCEPT these Super High Egg Prices! I think for MYSELF!

Fucking LOL. He ran on egg prices. “Shut the fuck up about eggs.”

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

Just go eat a cat or possibly dog.

I think you’re only allowed to do that if you’re an immigrant. If you’re an American, you’re legally obliged to uncritically consume absolute nonsense propaganda and be super racist towards said immigrants.

Elon is triggered... so talk more about eggs. Publish and share more egg recipes and recommend more dishes with eggs in them.

Yeah, you hear that, PEASANTS? Shut the fuck up about the prices of things, and TAKE IT. Show some goddamn respect for your BETTERS.

Billionaires need some peace and quiet while they divvy up the country's spoils amongst each other. Spoils from YOUR hard labor, by the way.

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 1 points 44 minutes ago

Somehow, democrats' messaging from September made it into this thread.
